  1. I just started Roy Cooling's arc this morning, ran into a couple of Family bosses who summoned Singularities and they didn't knock my Ice/Stone brute down. Level 29, +0/x3, only Rooted providing KB protection. Are you running at higher difficulty settings, and were Family bosses or foe-summoned Singularity bosses in the list of critters who were tweaked to be more challenging?
  2. Checking... Seems normal. I have a KD->KB IO in it, though, so it might be doing something I'm not seeing.
  3. It started as a flurry, but it snowballed.
  4. Some people don't like puns. Not even cube puns. Just doesn't crystalize for them. They're snow fun, and they give punsters a frosty reception. Sometimes they respond with a blizzard of remarks, other times, they're chill enough to drift on by without complaining.
  5. Knew I wasn't crazy. Well, yes, I am, but what I meant was, I knew I remembered this being possible, I just couldn't recall the format. Might put this to use with Infiltration. Maybe. Blue caves might make me regret it.
  6. It's Christmas, @0th Power, it's the time of miracles, so be of good cheer... and watch Die Hard again. Karl, hunt that little clip down and get me those quotinators.
  7. For those not in the know, it all started here... and then it snowballed. Meme away. It's funny... I thought I'd be remembered for my TA and Archery guides, or for my acerbic wit(lessness), or even for treating archetypes like off-hand suggestions, if nothing else, but no, my thunder is stolen by a nerve-damaged nipple. I suspect that my epitaph will read, "Had a bad nipple, tried to play it down/died a boring death, nipple got a crown."
  8. Obviously, me. That was why I posted that line in a thread titled, "New Badges for things I was going to do anyway". But it's not twice per level. Plenty of content, lots to do even after hitting 50. I don't restrict my failure to levels 1-49, I go all the way.
  9. He says that to the Aryan dude after he uses the circular saw to lure him into position for an ambush (on the floor of the building where all of the construction supplies are being temporarily stored. "Drop it, dickhead. It's the police." The first thing he says to Hans is, "Oh, I'm very sorry, Hans, I didn't get that message. Maybe you shoulda put it on the bulletin board.", when Hans grabs the radio and says, "I thought I told all of you I wanted radio silence" after hearing the radio broadcast signal *kssshhhhhhhhk*. That's just after McClane "waxed" Marco and Tony and used one of t. He says, "Hi there" when he and Hans have their first face to face meeting (Hans is checking the C4 on the underside of the roof, hops down and encounters McClane holding a machine gun in his face). Hans dissembles, adopting a "California accent", and momentarily convinces McClane that he's one of the hostages.
  10. Big Damn Hero - replacement for the Spelunker badge, for rescuing the fortune teller. She's a witch, but she's your witch. No-one Makes It On Their First Try - attempt to jump from one skyscraper to another, fail miserably. What a Wonderful Smell You've Discovered - spend 100 hours in sewer missions. It's All In The Wrist - replace your origin power with the natural origin power Throwing Knives. Institutionalized - hear Morgan Freeman narrating everything when you're playing. Walternate/Fauxlivia - run every mission and arc involving alternate realities. Only Mostly Dead - respawn at the hospital 100 times. Take This Under Advisement, Jerkweed - deliberately set off explosives in a building. How Hard Can It Be? - hilariously screw up while attempting something impressive but completely out of your bailiwick. They're Comin' Outta The Walls, Man! - trigger 100 ambushes. It's Bigger On The Inside - make a base. If You Ain't Cops, You're Little People - retire all clones, doppelgangers, replicants or other copies of your character, in the entire game. Saved Ferris - spend 100 hours in missions after mission completion. I Can Do This All Day - finish a fight with no endurance and 1% health. Anál Nathrach - use special costume toggles to deceive foes in 100 missions. Spared No Expense - play to 50, spend all merits and inf* on best-in-slot IOs and sets, complete all T4 Incarnates, and finally accept that the concept was horribly flawed from the outset. You've Got Me, Who's Got You? - rescue 100 hostages. Where's Francis? - go on a rampage.
  11. Shotguns can fire 1 ounce slugs up to 1200'. Expected distance before dropping below acceptable velocity for a clean kill, about 300'. Buckshot can be accurate and lethal up to 75'. Of course, varying the grain count and the weight of the slug/balls, the shape of the slug, the wadding for the balls, or using a sabot can significantly affect the trajectory, range and muzzle velocity, including allowing for farther shots, greater precision and more force retained by the round over a longer distance, but that's custom work, typically by enthusiasts who make their own ammunition. Factory-produced slugs and buckshot shells will conform to the above specifications.
  12. Succubi. One of the newly added Crey lieutenants/bosses.
  13. Testing right now on my Ice/Stone brute, level 17, the status and debuff protections remain active when I go to the top of a high building and leap off (takes several seconds to reach the ground). Going to check with a P2W flight power, hold tight. Hanging out high overhead in AP with a Jingle Jet, Rooted's buffs remain active. Been up for over a minute, combat attribs all show no change.
  14. As long as it included an option to disable it on a per account basis, I'd support this. We're not all running dual <insert latest/greatest GPU>, and hitting single-digit framerates is pathetically typical already when we encounter something Nemesis Jaegers who crap out ten clouds of Fuck You and The Framerate You Rode In With at the same time.
  15. That's mine. You can have it, though.
  16. No, the Page 3 beta... and I've been confusing the amplifiers with the XP buffs. I apologize, everyone, my brain is mush at this point. I was supposed to mulch some fruit trees, but the mulch turned out to be mostly red clay and gravel. Then I had to stock up on firewood, as I won't have time to do that again until next Thursday. I'm pooped. You folks figure out where those buffs came from, I'm going to eat some ibuprofen and go to bed.
  17. Don't give him your finger, you fool! YOU KNOW WHERE HE PUTS THOSE! *squick*
